Hello All!
Here is another one of my gundam wing fics- 1xR always! And Forever!
Oh well- not much to say- just another night of not wanting to work on homework :)
Anyway- I do not own Gundam wing- in fact I just broke down today and bought the box set- ouch! Pain- but hey in a few days I will have anime- it's all good!
Chapter One
Problems Arise-
His breath was jagged and his heart raced. He stood alone in the familiar scene of bloody war and death. His body was soaked in the blood of his victims- even being shielded by his loyal suit- Wing Zero- the blood still stuck to his skin.
The boy looked out with cold grim eyes on the world he, himself was responsible for destroying. He was more of a god of death than his partner was- that was because death consumed his life. He was a murderer. Trained from a young age to shed the blood of others.
But everything aside- he was on a new battle field this time: a dark place where there were no prisoners and the cost of failure was death.
Out of the death and carnage several figures emerged. The human side of him recognized the figures. They were his comrades during the war- his friends even. But still he raised his weapons at them. The figures stood there silent and still.
'They are your enemies,' a voice inside him said.
'No- they are… friends.' He fought back.
'You do not have friends- you are incapable of having them- they are your enemies- everyone is against you- YOU ARE ALONE!'
"NO!" He cried as the guns on his suit shot at them. 'Dou… Quatre… Trowa.. Wufei… No!' He called out as he saw they no longer stood.
But nothing would prepare him for who stood up next. From amongst the fire and darkness, a gentle light broke through. Her hair flew with the slight wind. He tried to look upon the angel's face- but the darkness masked her. However he knew who it was, how could he ever forget her?
He was about to yell at her to get away- to run from him, but instead his mouth uttered no such words. He was no longer in control . The suit had a will of its own-
'No Please!' he begged, but it would not listen to him as the suit drew its weapon up again.
"NO!" He screamed in a heart-wrenching voice- never before had he been this afraid.
Just as the weapon released Heero awoke abruptly- his body drenched with sweat. He instantly sat up- but was met with a hard metal object to the head. He fell back to the ground. His eyes opened- still breathing heavily from the torturous dream. Heero recognized where he was.
'I must have fallen asleep working on this piece of junk.' He thought as he noticed he was lying under a piece of heavy machinery; his tools to the side.
His head was now throbbing as he pulled himself out from under the mass of metal. As he looked around he was now fully aware of his surroundings. He was in Duo's shop.
Since the destruction of the gundams after last Christmas' uprising, he had gone off for a while. Not to long after he had returned to earth and took Duo up on his offer. Heero now lived and worked in Duo and Hilde's small business.
He had finally retired from his missions, much to Dr J's dismay, but Heero just couldn't take it. The after effects of the Zero system and all his battles were plaguing the perfect solider. Of all the gundam pilots, it was Heero that was subjected to it the most. He mastered it and worked with the system better than the others, but even he had limits. And now, being away from the system- cut off, cold turkey- was having its effects on him.
It was now a good four months after leaving the hospital Relena had insisted he go to after he collapsed in her arms. And he had now just recently returned- in part due to the effects coming on more frequently and with greater intensity.
Even the perfect solider knew he needed help. But he just didn't know how to ask.
By living and working with the closest of his comrades, maybe he would finally be able to ask for it.
There was no question they were aware that something was wrong with him- he never slept, and only ate bare minimums to keep his body going.
Heero now slowly moved to his feet. The sun was beginning to crack over the horizon. He needed air and now. So he stumbled outside the shop and climbed to the roof. With his head still hurting he sat down and tried to clear his mind.
But nothing seemed to calm his shaking body. The nightmares were coming more often. Even when he was awake he would feel like his mind and body were inside Wing Zero. He lost track of time- but finally he began to ease his shaky limps.
It was a good thing too- because a panicked voice came from behind. Heero opened his eyes and saw a concerned Duo coming up on the roof.
"Geez Heero- Scare me half to death would ya?"
".."
"I woke up and found blood all over the shop floor and a trail up here- damn! What did you do to your head?"
"What are you talking about?" Heero asked. He was the one confused now.
"You're bleeding." Dou said pointing to Heero's head.
Heero's hand felt the wet substance and pulled away. He didn't realize he was bleeding this bad.
"You should go have a doctor look at that- you might need stitches."
"NO!" Heero said almost panicking at the mention of doctors. He never wanted to see the inside of any hospital ever again.
"Calm down! Wow. You don't have to go to the hospital, but at least let Hilde or me look at it."
"I'll take care of it myself." Heero said in his normal monotone voice, as he stood up and went back into the building. Duo followed him back in and then snuck into the kitchen where Hilde was working on breakfast.
"Did you find him? Is he ok?" Hilde asked as Duo wrapped his arms around her waist.
"I'm worried about him. He's not… himself. Ever since he came back.. It's weird."
"I know, so what do you think we should do?" She asked.
"I don't know- I like having him here."
"And business hasn't been better- he's a great worker. Profits are up and you have more free time."
"Yeah- but look at him! He's always working- even on weekends and at all hours of the night! He never sleeps anymore and he's not eating either- there's something wrong."
"If there was something wrong he's let you know."
"Not Heero- he'll never just come out asking for help- just coming here to live and work is weird. He's more of a loner."
"He IS a loner! He hardly goes out. Maybe we should set him up with that girl who works at the part shop down the street. She seems to think he's cute." Hilde suggested.
"Heero would kill me if I did that. Not to mention Relena. You know how she feels about him." He sighed. "If she found out she'd be hurt- or kill me."
"Well she still doesn't even know he's here- why can't we tell her? I know she'd love to cheer him up." Hilde asked.
"No- we'll let Heero talk to her when he's ready- you forget he's not really good with those emotions." Duo said as he kissed he neck.
"Oh alright. I was just trying to get him to enjoy his life."
"I know Hilde and that's why I luv ya. You're so darn nice." He smiled as she brushed him off so she could continue cooking.
"Why don't you take the smooth talking mouth of yours and tell Heero breakfast is ready?" She motioned for him to go as she set dishes on the table for three.
"I'm on it." Duo smiled looking hungrily at the food she put on the table.
He walked over to the bathroom, he and Heero shared. Hilde always complained about his hair- so she got one to herself.
"Hey Heero- hurry up! Hilde's got the food ready." He yelled, but got no response. All he could hear was the sink running. "Heero? Bud are you in there?" Still no answer.
Duo slowly opened the door to the bathroom. He gasped in shock at what he found.
Heero was on the floor- his body shaking uncontrollably. He looked like he was having a seizure or something.
"Hilde! Call an ambulance!" Dou shouted as he knelt by his friend.
"What? Why?" Hilde asked as she entered the small bathroom. "Oh my God!" She gasped as she saw Heero.
